FAQ
Digital legacy questions
Common questions about setting up a digital dead man's switch.
Is this legally binding? Does it replace a will?
No. Countdown Trigger delivers messages — it does not transfer assets, property, or legal rights. It's a communication tool, not a legal document. We recommend using it alongside a proper will and estate plan.
What if I'm just on vacation and forget to check in?
With a 30-day interval, you have a full month between check-ins. If you're worried about a long trip, check in before you leave or adjust the interval. You can also pause the countdown temporarily.
How secure are my messages?
Messages are encrypted at rest and transmitted over TLS. They stay stored until your countdown expires, and our delivery system reads them only at the moment it sends them — never for analytics, advertising, or anything else. For secrets like passwords, we suggest your message point to a password manager's emergency access rather than carry them directly.
Can I try the monthly check-in before paying?
Yes, on the yearly plan. Arm it on a 7-day free trial and it runs as a real 30-day check-in, with SMS, up to 20 recipients and up to 100 countdowns. We take your card at the start and charge $90 for the year when the 7 days end, so the check-in keeps running. Cancel before then and you pay nothing, and the countdown stops. Monthly is $15, billed from day one.
Can I send messages to multiple people?
Yes. One countdown sends to up to 20 recipients per channel, and up to 100 countdowns carrying different messages for different people.
What happens if Countdown Trigger shuts down?
If we ever wind down, our plan is to give as much notice as we can and trigger active countdowns first, so pending messages are delivered rather than lost. Your data stays yours — you can request a full export anytime from your account settings.
Can I test it without actually sending messages?
Yes — and not just a preview. The builder has one-click test sends that deliver your actual message to your own inbox or phone, so you can read exactly what your recipients would get before anything goes live.
PLAN AHEAD
The message you hope is never sent
Write what matters. Check in monthly. If life takes an unexpected turn, your words reach the right people.
